We expected Ethan Mbappé's first goal, but it was ultimately Senny Mayulu who stood out.
The 17-year-old midfielder, trained at PSG, scored his first professional goal this Saturday evening during the round of 16 of the Coupe de France against Orléans.
The young creative midfielder took advantage of a very good movement between Kylian Mbappé and Gonçalo Ramos, both already scorers in this match, to present himself at the right corner of the area, alone in front of the goalkeeper.
Surprisingly calm for his age, the man who is one of the great hopes of the 2006 generation of Parisian titis magnificently spiked his ball above the opposing goalkeeper to shake the opposing nets and seal PSG's victory ( 4-1), qualified for the round of 16.
Enrique's confidence
Barely two months after his first training with the flag team, Senny Mayulu, 17, had already made his debut in the big leagues, two weeks ago, Sunday January 7, against Revel (0-9) in the 32nd of the Coupe de France final.
Born in Blanc-Mesnil, the former hopeful from Épinay-sur-Seine (Seine-Saint-Denis), passed through Saint-Denis, joined the capital club in U13.

From the same generation as his great friends Warren Zaire-Emery or Ethan Mbappé, he has always been outclassed since pre-training, but his progress has been slowed down in particular by injuries in 2020 and 2021. He is now regularly called upon by Luis Enrique to complete the group in training and now in matches.
